Reviving a 1968 Porsche 911 Barn Find with Dry Ice Blasting

At Cryo Solutions NJ, we’re passionate about breathing new life into classic vehicles, and our latest project , a 1968 Porsche 911 barn find, exemplifies this commitment. This iconic car, hidden away for decades, underwent a transformative dry ice blasting process to strip its undercoating, engine bay, and suspension. Using 1,000 pounds of dry ice over 8 hours of nonstop work, we uncovered not just a cleaner car, but critical insights that could preserve its legacy. Serving NJ, NY, and PA, we brought our mobile eco-friendly solution directly to the owner.

The Restoration Process: A Labor of Love

Dry ice blasting, a non-abrasive, chemical-free technique, proved perfect for this vintage Porsche. The undercoating—layered with years of grime, rust, and neglect—was meticulously removed, revealing the car’s original metal. The engine bay and suspension, often the hardest-hit areas in a barn find, required careful attention to clear debris without damaging delicate components. Our team powered through 8 hours straight, utilizing 1,000 pounds of dry ice, which sublimates on impact, leaving no residue behind. The result? A pristine undercarriage and a glimpse into the car’s true condition.

A Key Discovery: Uncovering Soft Spots

The real breakthrough came during the clean. As the undercoating vanished, the owner discovered critical soft spots—areas of corrosion and structural weakness on the underside. For a 1968 Porsche 911, where originality and integrity are paramount, this was a game-changer. Without this deep clean, these issues might have remained hidden, risking further deterioration. Dry ice blasting didn’t just restore the surface; it provided a proactive look at what needed repair, ensuring the car’s future on the road.
